A BIT ABOUT THIS COFFEE
"Village blend" is a 'tip of the cap' to the farmers who produce our tasty coffees on small plots in and around their villages. It contains beans from 3 different origins using 3 different processing methods.
The Village Blend is a more traditional blend with its own unique complexity and is the strongest of our blend offerings.
Start your days on the right note with blends composed of coffee from 100% Fair Value Exchange relationships aligned with our guiding Green Bean Buying principles.

THE STORY
Think of this blend as the South East Asian coffee ambassador to Australian homes and Cafes. It contains three full-bodied coffee's with big flavours from three different growing regions in South-east Asia.
The Village blend is the first blend we released and it's all about connecting the humble coffee farming communities of Asia with coffee loving Aussies.
In terms of the flavour profile, we wanted to lean into those crowd pleasing flavours while also bringing a uniquely complex South East Asian character.
Blend Components:
Sumatra - Giling basah
Myanmar - Honey Process
Laos - Fully Washed
Old Quarter Size Guide
Not sure how much coffee to purchase? The information below is a guide to how much coffee you will need to last you two weeks, based on the number of cups you, or your household, drink each day.
- 250g Bag: 1-2 cups per day
- 500g Bag: 2-3 cups per day
- 1kg Bag: 4-5 cups per day
Remember that espresso style extractions use a bit more coffee than filter...you'll need to take half a cup or so off the estimations above. E.g. you'll get about 1.5 cups per day if you order the 250g bag for a fortnight.

Goodness Gracious.
Is that the time?
I've enjoyed the Baristas Choice Coffee Subscription in Melbourne during 2021 - OQCM's coffee is first rate, the variety is interesting & unique, the business model; inspiring. Subscription service was above & beyond - Amelia went out of her way to provide excellent, friendly customer service. 10/10 would recommend!” Tiffany Smith - Google
”I've been buying this coffee for 2 years now and it's honestly the best coffee I've had so far. The Vietnam K'Ho is definitely my fave but all their coffees are bloody delicious. I was a little late placing my orders sometimes so now I order through their subscription service which is super convenient, plus saves me paying for shipping! 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves coffee.” Beatrice Eichler - Google
OMG if you haven’t tried this coffee yet you need too. How refreshing is it to drink coffee that hasn’t been over roasted and you can taste all the individual flavours of each bean? I’m hooked. Knowing it’s ethically sourced makes it taste even better.
